Dominions 3: The Awakening

Illwinter Game Design |

The Old God has left the world and the pretenders are awakening and coming out from hiding. You start the game by designing one of the pretender gods that will compete for true ascension to godhood. The type of god can range from a magically powerful arch mage to an ancient kraken or a mystic monolith that people pray to. Your pretender controls one of over sixty different nations and with the help of that nation he will spread his word and battle the other pretenders. Dominions 3 is a turn based strategy game. You can play single- or multiplayer (1 - 23 players) with simultaneous turns. There are more than 1500 different units, 600 spells and 300 magic items in the game. The game also features a medieval musical score by Erik Ask Uppmark and Anna Rynefors, both awarded the title of Musicians of the Realm by the Swedish Zornmärkeskommiten. Dominions 3 is a highly detailed game and a 300 page pdf manual is included in the download.

This is a map which might be specifically good for new players.
This map and others can be found at www.Dom3Minions.com

This is smaller Tower map.
It wraps from top to the bottom (but not side to side). So there is not two oceans, That is actually just one ocean that wraps. It has 200 provinces, 180 land and 20 water. It forces a very different game due to the tower shape and many chokepoints. But it tends to avoid getting swarmed by every nation in the game since the map pretty much only allows each person to have 2 neighbors. One above, and one below. It also makes the F1 key more useful for new players by making it easier to understand and find things because the provinces are numbered close to each other.

TIP: if you feel you are getting swarmed by the other nations too soon in a game, then turn the Independents UP. Turning the Independents down does not make the game easier, it makes the game harder.
